Cocktail Colin says:
Gindian refreshes with the classic botanical notes of gin, uplifted by the effervescent splash of soda water and a bright lime wedge. It's a restrained yet satisfying drink that's well suited for those who appreciate the purity of a well-edited cocktail.

FAQ's
How do I properly stir the Gindian to ensure it's well mixed?
To properly stir the Gindian cocktail, fill your lowball glass about halfway with ice. Pour the gin over the ice, and then top it up with soda water. Use a bar spoon to gently stir the mix for about 10-15 seconds. This will ensure the ingredients are well combined without diluting the cocktail too much.
What are some creative ways to garnish a Gindian?
A traditional Gindian is garnished with a lime wedge, but you can get creative by adding a sprig of fresh mint for aroma, a slice of cucumber for a refreshing twist, or even a ribbon of lime peel for an elegant look. These garnishes can add both visual appeal and a burst of complementary flavors.
Is the Gindian suitable for any particular time of day or occasion?
The Gindian, with its refreshing and light qualities, is particularly suitable for daytime events, such as brunches or garden parties. Its low alcohol content makes it a great option for occasions where guests prefer to enjoy a less intoxicating drink that still offers sophisticated flavor.
How does the alcohol content of a Gindian compare to a standard glass of wine?
A standard glass of wine (about 150ml) typically has an alcohol content of about 12%, whereas the Gindian has an alcohol content of 5.14%. This makes the Gindian a lighter option, with less than half the alcohol content of a typical glass of wine, appealing for those seeking a milder option.
Can different types of gin significantly alter the taste of a Gindian?
Yes, the type of gin used in a Gindian can significantly alter its taste. A classic London dry gin will provide a crisp and juniper-forward flavor, while a more contemporary styled gin with floral or citrus notes might give the cocktail a lighter, more aromatic profile. Experimenting with different gins can be a fun way to discover your preferred iteration of the Gindian.
